If you got yourself two lengths of flexible track for the sidings, you could give each a gentle curve to look better alongside the mainline. Not necessarily parallel, but with a better flow.

Wow, no words. Were any of the direct sales models in as-preserved condition, or is it only the Rails commission?

Wow, that's incredible! I dropped the ball with these!

Did all of the Class 37's sell out on pre-order? Also, is there an as-preserved variant included in the range?

I love the look of the three covered vans, particularly the "planked" one! Definitely need to order some today! Do you have "earliest" and "latest" estimated running dates for the three of them? IE, the planked one, IWC1005, and IWC10010.

Hey, cats like the A Class, too!

Did you not see the limited edition B&T 071's announced there about three and a half weeks back?

You almost make it sound as if you have a personal grudge against the Silver Fox guys. They are pretty cool to deal with, as others have said before. Their A Class doesn't hold a candle to the IRM offering, that goes without saying. But... You want a C Class, even in NIR livery? No problem. You want Mk3 coaching stock and EGV's? No problem. You want a weedspray van to go with IRM's weedspray train? No problem. Not my weathering, by the way, that was done by the very talented @Noel. But the point is that even today, they are the only show for many RTR Irish items. You've said that you're not a purist, that you'll have a silver A Class hauling Mk3 stock, so what's the problem with Silver Fox?

Me too!

Are you not?

The Tara Tax?

I was starting to have a problem with some going into SPAM before the change in mailout delivery provider, but none are going into SPAM since. I received emails for TJ last Sunday, but not today, which coincides with the other notifications that stopped working for me on Thursday afternoon.

I got one for Boskonay's post in this thread, and yours, but Tara Junction has vanished the past week.

Strange. Some threads are working again, like this one and the eBay thread, but some, like Tara Junction, no longer appear in my forum notifications, nor am I receiving email notifications for them.

€20 per kilo from Germany for an alternative product: https://www.ebay.es/itm/313491917405

My email notifications stopped again around five or six yesterday afternoon. They're not in my SPAM folder, and my notification / follow settings on the forum are still the same. Have you guys been blacklisted again?

My point was that, as per the post that I quoted, it sounds like IRM have a load of announcements all ready to go, so content or not, we are gonna be spoiled again this year. Been a bit of a wierd winter down here, milder than usual but also more changeable than usual. 28 degrees at midnight on Sunday night and only 14 degrees at the same time the next night. Hope your friends made the most of it either way!

A42 getting scarce, less than 20 left. I'm amazed that A55 sold out before A42 and A30. The green and the silver are lovely to the eye.

Hi Sean. Sorry to reply so late, but I've been busy lately. I had been going to suggest something like the attached image - forgive the crudeness, but I only had a moment to scribble something down. In the image, I've shown the roads with a kind of orangey-brown highlighter, I've omitted the turntable, and I've left the left hand side of the run around loop off-scene, allowing you run longer trains in and out, and simplifying the pointwork a little. This would mean running two tracks through the hole instead of just one, but I think that you have two tracks just outside that hole, so you lose a bit of functionality by having only one track entering anyway. All only suggestions, so no offence is intended. Also, rather than an embankment on the left hand side, how about archways? You can still run the road along the top, as I get you, the cars need to be shown off, too. But, you don't lose much space on your board, and you get to run a dummy line out through one of the arches if you like, where you have the Evergreen with the hot box in one of your photos. I know now that the hill in the right corner is pivotal, and staying, so maybe a tunnel cut into it?

Jaysus, if you want to bitch and moan, do it in private.

My money is on the next announcement being IRM t-shirts. Green with white font, white with green font, and a limited edition silver one saying "Our models are A1" in a wooden case.

As in they should cancel everything that they have ready to announce this year, or they should make no announcements next year for the following year? Steady on, Mr. Rich Man! Our pockets will be emptied one way or another, don't worry.

Well, I believe that we're due an IRM announcement early this month and another late this month or early next month, so you're not the only itchy one!

A couple of Ian Hayes trucks on eBay at the moment. This one is from a seller that I've bought from several times. Good guy, combines shipping etc: https://www.ebay.es/itm/374014582051
